tpectfication of Letters Patent.

Application filed Ap1'i124t, 1916. Serial No. 93,122.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs H. WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lebanon, Laclede county, Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cabinets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved cabinet.

Fig. 2 is a front elevational view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a vertical cross sectional view through the same.

Fig. 4 is a detail view showing one sec tion of the cabinet.

Fig. 5 is a detail view showing the manner of nesting the parts for shipment.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in cabinets designed especially for use in connection with garages, the object being to provide a simple and cheap construction which is easily manufactured,

which will occupy relatively small space in shipment and which in use will be very com venient.

In the drawings, 1 indicates the wall of the garage or building on which may be fastened a bracket or supporting bar 2 having key hole openings 3 therein so as to be detachably mounted upon nails or supporting screws 4. This bracket may have its ends bent outwardly and secured to the walls of the cabinet as shown. However, do not wish to be understood as confining my invention to this particular form of mounting, as other convenient means may be employe The cabinet walls are preferably formed of two semi-circular members or sections 5 and 12, whose edges arefolded under as at 6 (see Fig. 3) so as to present a smooth rounded edge. A. stidening corrugation 7 may also be employed if desired. In making the walls of the cabinet the sheet metal is preferably folded and corrugated in long strips which are afterward curved and punched to form sections to produce the size of cabinet desired. 8 indicates a shelf which Copies of this patent may be obtained for is secured in position between the ends of one of the sections by means of screws or nails and 9 is a stiffening bracket or shelf also secured in position between the walls of the cabinet by means of suitable fastening devices. A cabinet section thus made may be used as shown in Fig. 4 on which a garden hose indicated at 10, or an extra automobile tire at 11, may be supported thereon, keeping either or both in perfect condition and free from kinks, the shelves of the cabinet providing accommodations for tools, etc. However, I prefer to complete the cabinet by the addition of a bottom section 12 whose free ends overlap the ends of the upper section and are secured to the shelf 8 by suitable fastening devices. This lower section 12 may also be provided with a shelf 13 which acts as a stifl ening brace.

In preparing the parts for shipment the supporting bracket 2 is of course removed. The upper section may have the shelves 8 and 9 secured in position therein while the lower section 12 is nested over the upper section and the shelf 13, like the bracket 2, is nested in the space between the shelves of the upper section. Where great numbers are to be shipped to the same point of destination, the shelves may be removed from all of the semi-circular sections which can be nested together and the shelves packed separately.

I am aware that the structure herein illus trated and described may be varied in numerous particulars without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention as set out in the following claim.

l claim:

A cabinet comprising two semi-circular members formed from bent sheets of metal, said members forming a circular structure whose meeting free ends overlap each other,

and a shelf forming a stid'ening bracket to which said free ends are connected.

in testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses,

this 20th day of April, 1916.
